The other day, some of us were discussing issues such as “Should we bring back the wooly mammoth, or edit a human embryo, or wipe out an entire species that we consider harmful?” A quick search online took me to: The genome-editing technology CRISPR has made extraordinary questions like these legitimate — but how does it work? Scientist and community lab advocate Ellen Jorgensen is on a mission to explain the myths and realities of CRISPR, in the video “What you need to know about CRISPR, Ellen Jorgensen“, below:
The CRISPR-Cas9 system has revolutionized gene-editing, but cutting DNA isn’t all it can do. From turning gene expression on and off to fluorescently tagging particular sequences, this animation explores some of the exciting possibilities of CRISPR, in the video “CRISPR: Gene editing and beyond“, below:
This video is an explanation of CRISPR-Cas 9, in the video “CRISPR Explained“, below:
Geneticist Jennifer Doudna co-invented a groundbreaking new technology for editing genes, called CRISPR-Cas9. The tool allows scientists to make precise edits to DNA strands, which could lead to treatments for genetic diseases … but could also be used to create so-called “designer babies.” Doudna reviews how CRISPR-Cas9 works — and asks the scientific community to pause and discuss the ethics of this new tool, n the video “How CRISPR lets us edit our DNA, Jennifer Doudna“, below:
